Colossians is the seventh of Paul's Epistles. It was written around 61 AD, whilst Paul was imprisoned in Rome, to the Church in Colosse which is in modern day Turkey. Paul had never visited this church, but he knew its founder; a man named Epaphras. Paul had converted Epaphras when he spent three years in Ephesus. Epaphras went to Rome to see Paul and to raise his concerns about false ideas which are being taught in Colosse. On hearing the news Paul wrote this letter to the Colossians, warning them that what they were teaching was lessening the value of Christ. His letter gave them proper understanding of who Jesus was and what He did.
Colossians 3:5-8
"Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth"
